I think my husband and I have that discussion Every Day! It doesn't matter if I am working part-time, full-time or not at all we still have the same discussion. It always ends with both of us feeling unappreciated. How long have you been married? We have been married 4 years, together 9 and we have yet to figure this one out. I wish we would because every time we fight about it I think it gets alittle worse.

Well sometimes me and my hubby have the same discussion but i am a stay at home mom.And sometimes i just cant get my daughter to cooperate so i dont do anything till after she goes to bed at night..But if he wants to see what you do wait till he gets home and if he gets mad cause it isnt done when he's home just tell him in a sweet voice " i was just waiting for you to get home so you know i do what i say" that should pretty much end it, least it did for me and hubby lol he got a kick out of it really.. But goodluck :)

Men don't usually realize how much you do until they have to do it. If he is the only one working he probably feel a little jealous that you get to stay home and enjoy yourself well he is out working. they never realize how much you do. If you are both working I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes I think it would be great if we could switch places so they could see for themselves what we do and in turn we could see how hard their day is. Maybe try asking him about his day and don't focus on the house work or things that need to be done.
